title: Primary structure of the ovine pituitary follitropin alpha-subunit.
abstract: All the tryptic peptides of reduced and aminoethylated alpha-subunit of ovine pituitary follitropin were isolated. From their their composition and partial sequence analysis of the N- and C-termini of the oxidized protein and reliance on homology with the sequence of lutropin alpha-subunit, an entire structure for the follitropin alpha-subunit has been proposed. The structure of the alpha-subunits from the two ovine hormones are identical.
